Obviously, this project has become the favorite of handymen and those not so handy, AKA me! However, my grandson would love it! I have the weedeater motor and thanks to you and a few others I have just enough info to blow myself up lol In the famous words of Henry Ford, The Wright Bros., etc. "Yall watch this"...
When I made mine I used a bike peg that had machined criss cross grooves and it worked in the rain just fine but the snow would build up on the tire and it would start slipping
Yeah thats the question, you could try griptape but the amount of heat and wear the peg takes it probably wouldn't last more than a few minutes. What I have seen people do is carve grooves along the peg but I haven't tried it myself. You could probly get more grip with less bracing but even then you still wouldn't get much go in the wet. If you need it for the rain you'd probably be best off chain drive. Good luck either way!
What I did was take a 13mm socket and my flywheel in my echo trimmer has the threads to fit on a fine thread 13mm socket so I took the nut and welded it into the socket
Hey man thanks, as for the drive line chain drive is definately better for getting power down in the wet and dailing in gearing. However attaching gears is a nightmare if you dont buy one of those kits. Speed wise this will do like 20kph ish without overheating. And this motor doesnt have the torque for a higher gear lol. If you have the motor I'd just bolt as many supports on as possible and just send er direct drive!
Yeah that'll depend another on the gearing or in this case peg size. On this bike you could pedal it to like 20 kph but it won't make it to 20 under its own power nor stay at 20 for very long (over heating/general lack of power). At this gear ratio and power level the motor is more like a pedal assist then an actual power plant lol. If I were to do this again I probably would get a smaller peg and a bigger engine, even with this design it's still a pretty fun project and I'd go for it if you got the time!
I heard you say if it gets wet you lose power,ive never built anything of this sort for the record but what if you find a way to get some type of rubber to put around the piece that goes on the wheel for better grip
If your sure the thing runs without being on the bike then then its probly just not spinning fast enough to start. I'd guess it's most likely a gearing issue, but if you know the peg is small enough and keeping traction with the tire I'd just try to get the engine to spin as fast as possible. You could try putting the bike in a higher gear, and if you still don't have the wheel speed you can even try just push starting it
Don't do it because otherwise the engine will break. If you accelerate and take off the gas, the engine doesn't get the right mixture and is no longer lubricated and then the engine seizes
@@Potato37184 you’re right. I saw another video as im trying to build one, he had a lever system and spring to lift the motor off the wheel, a “clutch”

This is of my interest tonight maybe I’ll forget it tomorrow but if not I’ll be trying to do this and this vid helped a lot thanks
Have you made it yet
When I made mine I used a bike peg that had machined criss cross grooves and it worked in the rain just fine but the snow would build up on the tire and it would start slipping
Hey a good way to add grip for rain or snow add grip tape around the tube to grab more onto the tire works better so can still ride in rain

@@triggeredhondaboy6887 ya I've also seen people use a notch pressor and make a knurl along the metal for better grip to
maybe slide on a handlebar grip and glue it with some epoxy?
Certainly a good way to wake up the neighbours i like the idea keep things simple you could cross hatch the drive with a grinder to get more grip
What I did was take a 13mm socket and my flywheel in my echo trimmer has the threads to fit on a fine thread 13mm socket so I took the nut and welded it into the socket
How did you put the bolt along the driveshaft?
Nice build man I’m thinking about building my own. Should I do friction drive or chain drive? Also what is the top speed?

Sounds good man thanks for the reply
Chain is alot better and gears really aren't that bad I just did one myself chains alot better and u can just use a small ratio for more speed
Keeping this
Nice,,, full engineer 😃😃😃 good luck
Must have put the peg too low on the tire cause all the movement was from pedaling, rather than the engine moving it lol
How did you start it?, also wouldn’t using raw power cause the thing to spin at idle?
yeah u need to keep the clutch
What is the top speed I’m thinking of building one
Yeah that'll depend another on the gearing or in this case peg size.

Would it be any good going along the low tide firm beach sand area?
Ok so it begins as peddle start after u get rid of the pull start or vise versa.how do u hold motor up.
Gonna start building one tommorow
How did yours turn out?
Did it Work?
Excelente gracias ☺️👌
How about put part of a tire around the pipe that on the tire
I heard you say if it gets wet you lose power,ive never built anything of this sort for the record but what if you find a way to get some type of rubber to put around the piece that goes on the wheel for better grip
i’ve built one, where do i put the rubber?
I always have an issue with the metal touching the rubber causing burning of the rubber
How long does the back tire last?
It doesn’t affect the structural integrity of the rear wheel by a whole lot. It is basically the equivalent of regular ground contact
Awesome
Nice video
So this design doesn't use any clutch?
How do you break? Wont it break the motor
How do you get the throttle cable to the other throttle.
Whistlin Diesel lollolololol
how fast can it go
Que mucha nieve uiiiiiiiiijjjja
how do you start it up mine wont start when i pedal

I didnt watch the full vid yet. But im guessing he kept the clutch on the motor. That would solve the issue
@@majorwoody1720 there was no clutch, he Connectet that shaft to the wheel

There oil in the gas dumbass
The driveshaft fell out is that supposed to happen?
How fast dose it go?
My tyre got explode due to heat
Foolish to do this. Engine bike piddling with leg. What is the use of engine?
to start the engine and turn over the piston with no battery for spark plug, you must know about bikes before talking bud. plus it holds your feet lol
how much cc does the motor have?
26cc
Did u watch the fucking video he Said 26 cc
That's so slow
What's the shaft on the tire called?
